Dance Disney Workshop

Overview
During this workshop, professionals from Disney Live Entertainment will teach choreography and staging techniques from one of the many shows performed at Disney Parks across the world. Through this process participants will learn choreography, as well as the performance elements that elevate their movement to a uniquely Disney level of storytelling. There will also be an invaluable opportunity to talk with industry veterans about the audition process, get career advice, and more.

After completing this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Techniques to learn choreography quickly
- The importance of flexibility in mind and body
- Tips for integrating into a new cast
- How to be a good ensemble member who contributes to the success of the group

Educational Standards: Our Performing Arts Workshops and Performances meet many of the National Core Arts Standards to continue and support classroom learning in a real-world setting.
